This savory Vegan Spinach Mushroom Tart with homemade pastry is the best thing for breakfast or brunch and you’ll love the combination of spinach and mushrooms! gluten free option

This easy vegan spinach mushroom tart goes well for dinner as well as brunch! Serve this tart with my gravy for special dinners or with my hollandaise sauce for breakfast.

While many vegan savory tart recipes call for pre-made pie crust, I opted to make my savory shortcrust pastry from scratch and I recommend you try it too! The savory pastry comes together within minutes and is just perfect. Rich yet tender, and it holds up well, too.

The shortcrust pastry is made with all purpose flour, almond flour, and flax eggs Herbs are added for extra flavor. The filling is savory and packed with flavor from sautéed mushrooms, onions, and spinach.

I like white beans as the base of the filling. You can also use a mix of chickpeas and tofu. The tart is savory and hearty. Add some raisins or cranberries to make it festive. Add more veggies for a hearty weekend brunch.

To get that perfect caramelized browned top, we brush the tart with a mix of vegan Worcestershire sauce and oil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 30 to 40 minutes. Don’t have Worcestershire sauce? Use some molasses +soy sauce.

Notes

Nutfree: use a regular pie crust which is flour and oil or vegan butter.

Gluten-free: use a Glutenfree crust of choice or use oat flour instead of all purpose in the crust. Use oat flour instead of breadcrumbs in the filling.

Soyfree: Use a mix of coconut amino a molasses and garlic powder as a substitute for vegan Worcestershire sauce

Oil-free: use broth to sauté

You can also bake this without the crust. You can make this into small individual loaf sizes or burger patty sizes and bake them. Increase the glaze to cover the tops so that the tops don't dry out.

You can also make them into muffin tin similarly and add the glaze accordingly.
